Key Points

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of autologous PRP injections with silicone products for improving scars from trauma or surgery.
Study conducted between August 2022 and February 2024.
Patients with post-traumatic or post-surgical scars received either autologous PRP or silicone-based treatment.
Scar improvement was assessed using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS).
The PRP group showed a significant decrease in the mean observer POSAS score from 16.76 to 12.47 over 5 months (P<0.001).
Both patient and observer assessments indicated statistically significant improvement in scars treated with PRP.
PRP treatment led to faster and more effective aesthetic and symptomatic improvements compared to silicone products.
